How do you say good-morning in Mandarin Chinese?

There are a few ways to say good morning in Mandarin Chinese, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* 早上好 (zǎoshang hǎo): This is the most common and formal greeting. It literally translates to "good morning."

* 您早 (nín zǎo): This is a more polite and respectful way to say good morning, especially to someone older or in a position of authority. It literally translates to "you early."

Informal:

* 早 (zǎo): This is a very casual and common way to say good morning, often used between friends and family. It literally translates to "early."

Other options:

* 早上安好 (zǎoshang ān hǎo): This is a more literary way to say good morning, meaning "May your morning be peaceful."

* 早晨 (zǎochén): This is another way to say "morning," but it's not used as a greeting as often as "早上好."

It's important to choose the appropriate greeting based on the situation and your relationship with the person you are addressing.
